Converting the other way: US cups to tablespoons

tablespoons = US cups × 16. So 1.25 US cups is back to 20 tablespoons; one US cup is 16 tablespoons. See the US cups to tablespoons table.

Quick estimate in your head

For a rough answer, multiply by about 0.06: 20 × 0.06 ≈ 1.2 cup, against the exact 1.25 cup (4.0% out). Good enough to check that a calculated result is sensible.

Common mistakes

The usual slip is using the factor the wrong way round. A tablespoon is smaller than a US cup, so the number of US cups must come out smaller than the number of tablespoons. If your answer goes the other way, divide instead of multiplying.
